that was the first DVD we ever owned

my dad likes that song so much that he looped the DVD audio out of the computer and back into the line in and recorded the song off it using only the best late-90's recording software so he could put it on CD's and listen to it on the go

the menu system for the dvd is awesome, looks like the cockpit of the rocket truck and has random overthruster beeps

some trivia about the end credits song: when they filmed that part the song wasn't ready, so instead they played "uptown girls" to give the actors a beat to walk to. same tempo!

Jimmy Carter posted:

lol my friends were the only ones who actually were living full-time in their 7-unit apartment building in Flatbush, every other apartment was AirBnBs.

After the building owner got desperate for income during winter when occupancy rates dropped, they changed it to instant-bookings with no security deposit. The units were of course immediately filled with people throwing parties so after 4 straight nights of that bullshit my friends called the city Finance Department.

Building owner was fined over $10k for each unit he was AirBnB-ing out, and shockingly none of the units had CO detectors in them, and the basement apartment wasn't actually on the Certificate of Occupancy so the owner's brother living there was evicted by the city, and at the end of the day they had over $100k in fines.
Owner then had the balls to knock on my friends' door with some goons standing behind him and asked them to leave a month before their lease was up, and the response was "yeah cool we can do that, we can also call my lawyer and get a breach of contract lawsuit started and also conference-call the City Finance department in where we let them know about the other code violations we have documented. Or just leave us be and inspect the apartment on the date we previously established"

He then proceeded to let the city know about the violations anyways on his move-out day, and they wound up hitting the owner with another $50k in fines.

the geocaching community also uses "muggles" as "non-geocachers" which they need a term for, because digging up a magic box from a map invites vandalism so you'd see posts like "searched area, but did not hang around to arouse muggle suspicions"
